    New hard drive, what now?


    How do I install Windows 10 onto a new hard drive I got? My last one died so I bought a new one.

    Do I really need to buy a copy of Windows 10 for like $120 or is there an easier way??

    I've heard of the Windows 7/Windows 8 free update but I don't know how to get those either, if someone can help that'd be fantastic.

    Overclock your hard drive!!!

    Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

    REQUIREMENTS:
    • Hard drive with molex power connection.
    • PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
    • Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.
    STEPS:
    • Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
    • Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
    • Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
    • Plug in a drive and feel the speed!
    Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!
